A Pledge to Pagan Spirituality
I am a Pagan andI dedicate Myself tochanneling the Spiritual
Energy of my Inner Self to help and to heal myself and others.
* I know that I am a part of the Whole of Nature. May I
grow in understanding of the Unity of all Nature. May I always
walk in Balance.
* May I always be mindful of the diversity of Nature as well
as its Unity and may I always be tolerant of those whose race,
appearance, sex, sexual preference, culture, and other ways differ
from my own.
* May I use the Force(psychic power) wisely and never useit
for aggression nor for malevolent purposes. May I never direct it
to curtail the free will of another.
* May I always be mindfulthat I create my own reality and that I
have the power within me to create positivity in my life.
* May I always act in honorable ways: being honest with
myself and others, keeping my word whenever I have given it,
fulfilling all responsibilities and commitments I have taken on to
the best of my ability.
* May I always remember that whatever is sent out always
returns magnified to the sender. May the Forces of Karma move
swiftly to remind me of these spiritual commitments when I have
begin to falter from them, and may I use this Karmic feedback to help
myself grow and be more attuned to my Inner Pagan Spirit.
* May I always remain strong and committed to my Spiritual ideals
in the face of adversity and negativity. May the Force of my Inner
Spirit ground out all malevolence directed my way and transform
it into positivity. May my Inner Light shine so strongly that
malevolent forces can not even approach my sphere of existence.
* May I always grow in Inner Wisdom & Understanding. MayI see
every problem that I face as an opportunity to develop myself
spiritually in solving it.
* May I always act out ofLove to all other beings on this Planet
-- to other humans, to plants, to animals, to minerals, to
elementals, to spirits, and to other entities.
* May I always be mindful that the Goddess and God in all their
forms dwell within me and that this divinity is reflected through
my own Inner Self, my Pagan Spirit.
* May I always channel Love and Light from my being. May my
Inner Spirit, rather than my ego self, guide all my thoughts,
feelings, and actions.
